fuse supports hole punch via the fallocate() FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE interface. When a hole punch is passed through, the page cache is not cleared and thus allows reading stale data from the cache. This is easily demonstrable (using FOPEN_KEEP_CACHE) by reading a smallish random data file into cache, punching a hole and creating a copy of the file. Drop caches or remount and observe that the original file no longer matches the file copied after the hole punch. The original file contains a zeroed range and the latter file contains stale data. Protect against writepage requests in progress and punch out the associated page cache range after a successful client fs hole punch.
